Yes, if you want *everything*, but you don't need to go there. A
netinstall CD is almost certainly all you need, and it only takes up a
partial CD...
This'll get you a system based on a 2.4.x kernel (2.4.20 I think) and
get you to the point of having the network available to install
everything else your heart desires. Only 38Meg.

There are other versions of Netinst CD's... see
